The first alarm was given by the firemen on the beat, and, from what was then .seen, it appeared to have commenced at the back of the stage. By half-past one the whole build ing presented one continued body of flame, and the appearance on thi horizon was truly grand. Tke height of the building, composed principally of wood, gave every effect' to the scene, - Mid- a farthing might have been picked. up on either of the bridges from the glare. of - light. By a quar4r to two o'clock the, engines from dif ferent .fire.offices were in motion, but from the variam'e of the wind ninny were lead astray, some crossing the water, and others going to the north-. ward. By two o'clock there were at least 20 endues ready to go to work, •but not more than eight or ten could be kept going, and those, of. course, with little effect. About a quarter pat two, several of the adjacent houses caught lire on the top, from the flakes of burning embers, but we are happy to say, by the great exertion of the firemen, they were preserved from destruction. Not five pounds worth of property was saved from the Theatre, and though no lives were lost,. • we regret to state several persons - were injured in trying to save the propety. At one o'clock all appeared safe to the watchman of the house, and So rapidly .did it proceed that those in the house • narrowly escaped. With respect to the cause of the calamity, all that could be learned was, that sonie of the wadding from the fire-works used in the new piece, in which Mount Etna is repre sented, must have lodged die canvas, and. Which being ignited, set the whole fabric in a blaze. By three o'clock the whole of the inte dor of the building was completely burned to ashes. [FLIIITIIER PARTICULARS.] The flames continued to rage through the building until six o'clock this morning, when the roof, and part of the massive machinery falling in, partly checked their destructive progress ; but the fire was not subdued until mucla later this morning, and, from the excessively dangerous state of the wells still remaining, the firemen could not approach within that distance necessary to ascertain the real state of the building. However, during this forenoon, our informant has heard that every Particle of property belonging to the concern is destroyed, and the loss to the proprietors is estimated at above . l4,oool. The present proprietors only occupied it .on lease for a certain term of months in the year.. By this melancholy casualty above 70 persons have been thrown out of eipploy, and . num tent of them, from • the loss of chests of tools, dresses, •implements, &c.• are nearly ruined. The sad calamity had xiearly proved destructive to the neighbourhood, and above 16 houses have been damaged, and would have been included in the conflagration, but for the exertions of the firemen. .Above thirty engines were at one time in full play, mostly upon the adjoining houses. The supply of' water 'was abundant. A detachment of the Foot Guards, under the command of Capt. Cletnents, were on the ground, and kept . a Clear space of great extent to enable the exertions of.the fire men to have full effect. This service was of much importance. as it was computed that above one hundred thousand person s were assembled before three o'clock, in the neighbourhood. Th e inhabitants of the houses west of Tower-hill, and as far as Rat cliffe, viewed the confle:ration from the roofs of their houses, and such was the glare of light, that the most trifling atom could be clearly discovered on the ground. The flames assumed the more awfultappearance of the tremendous irruption of a volcano than the result of a common casualty. The cause o this disastrous.occurrence is as yet mere conjecture.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.-TAX ON LEECHES. On the 7th instant, in the Chamber of Deputies, M. de PUYMAURIN proposed the suppression of the duty on the importation of Leecha.—(Bursts of laughter.)--.He said that the marshes of France might be sufficient to supply this branch of commerce. The collectors of leeches, he remarked, have to apprehend, not only the French Custom House Officers, but also the jealousy of the Spaniards who pursue the same trade. About eight months ago these barbarians seized a French man who was seeking Leeches ; they stripped him naked, tied him to a tree, and applied to him the leeches he had obtained. --(Expression of horror throughout the Assembly.) The unfortunate man, thus abandoned, would hatePerrnted ben path the pangs of his own leeches, had not his comrades the French, delivered hini.—(Renewed sensation.)-4 shall perhaps be told that importation foreign leeches is injurious to the industry of those, who, after having discovered the species of food which suits them, studied their manneri, and even their amours,--( Prolonged bursts of laughter)--devote themselves to the education of, leeches ; l shall reply, that these leeches so assembled, become the prey of their enemies, water rats, and wild ducks.—(Still louder laughter.) —A farmer of La Sologne, having gained 30,000 francs in four years, by the leech trade, had multiplied them Wit little pond to the number of 200,000 disposable ones per year. He considered his pond as a new Pactolus—(Laughter),—wheti lo ! divers flocks of wild-ducks, driven from the north of Europe by the rigours o f winter, pounced upon his pond, and in four and twenty hours swallowed up at once his leeches and his hopes.—(Prolonged expressions of mirth.) While waiting until a new system against humours shall have succeeded the present Bangui sous system—(irresistible laughter) —until a martyrology of the victims of leeches be dtawn up —we must not throw impediments in the way of an im portation not deemed necessary. Already do the Hippocrates of Italy, recognizing only emetics, exclaim No! as to leeches, while the French Galen% still say Yes.—thatighter.)—Discord is introduced into the sanctuary of Thigeia, leeches may, per haps, be banished from it; the tax would then become use less, and leeches no longer be a necessary evil, and, an obejct of revenue. M. DE SAINT CRICQ thought the tax could not be totally suppressed. M. DE PAYMAURIN proposed to reduce it to centimes per 1000.—This amendment was rejected. DEODANDS: By this is meant whatever personal chattel is the immediate occasion of the death of anTrea, tone* creature, which is. forfeited 'to the King, to be applied in pious uses. In some of our old law-books, the' Words "moveable chattels" are employed instead of " personal chattels," and hence has arisen a vulgar error that a Deodand can . tnily arise upon things in their nature easily removed, and that consequently fixtures are ex eMptedfrom forfeiture, in cases where if the same accident had happened by a cart, ; it would have worked alorfeiture of it. In the spirit of this notion it has been lately decided by a Coroner, that where a machine, Whilst at work, caused the, death of a man, the Jury were not autho rized' to set a value -on it. as no Deodand had accrued 7 -the machine being 'a fixture. There is, however, some better ground for this vuigar error than many others, seeing that a Dooiland. would not accrue from a death occasioned by a fall from a house, or from any thing which might be considered s part of the freehold on which it stands. I..trt, for the prac tice now prevalent of setti►tg a nominal value on! personal chattels occasioning. death, and permit ting•that to be taken in satisfaction of the deo (land, a great many very- nice questions of law would arise, for this is a branch of legal science' very little illuminated by the present or the by gone sages of the law, m►d appears to stand u t m ost wholly on authorities extracted from the Year Books, Bractou, some ancient writers, Coke's Institutes,' and Blackstone's Commen taries, the two latter of whiA are concentrations of the essence of the former named works. The. rule aria OMniu qute movent ad mon. tem sant Deo danda (All things causing death are given to God), Deo danda, hence deodand. Accordingly the object to w hich deodands were anciently applied ,was to purchase masses for the good of the soul of the person thus suddenly snatched from life , and to otrer ex iation for his sins, or for the appeasing of. G6d's.wrath. in , the spirit of this application of the deodend, it is even now law, that if an infant under the age of fourteen years fall from a curt, horse, or the like, when not in motion, and is killed, no deo dand is due, because the child was presumed inca pable of actual sin, and therefore needed no deo dand to purchase propitiatory Masses for his justifi cation. By odd sort of a contortion, however, and in a manner hardly reconrilenble with this pious.reason, it is held, that if the cart or horse had been in motion, and had thus killed the child, a deodand would accrue.. The reason of this distinction does not appear, for why a child killed by atfaccidental fall should not need pro pitiatory masses in- the sante manner as a child killed by a cart in motion, it is hardly possible to imagine. There is yet anolherdistinction in cases where death is occasioned, _by a thing in motion, or thing not in motion ; that . in the first case, the deodand is the whole thing, and in the second only that particular part which, or from which the death was caused. Thus, if a man climbing the wheel of a cart falls and is killed, the wheel alone is' forfeited ; Whereas, had the cart run over him, not only the identical wheel which inflicted the wound, but the loading which increased the preSsnre, and the whole cart would :be' for feited. Again, if a man, being on a river in a boat lying at anchor, falls into the water and is drowymed, the boat alone is forfeited, whereas had he so fallen whilst the boat was in progress, the tackle and all furniture would assuredly be condemned, although it might be a question' how far any loading on board would follow the boat. The property in the thing causing .death is never con• sidered, for the thing, whosoever it may he, is said to be ." accursed," and therefore is forfeited, and thus my gun is forfeited although used by another to kill a man, and this reason dispenses with all inquiry as to the property in articles with which a murder is committed, but the value . of which the Grand Jury al w,ays present and find. But the greatest point of all affecting deodands is the qUestion, whether they accrue for men drowned at sea or in rivers, by falling from a vessel into the water. On this point it is Clear that for accidents happening nn the high seas no deodand, accrues, because that is withoUt the jurisdiction of the common law ; but for accidents happening in fresh water (aqua dada) it is said that the vessel and cargo are' in strictness a deodand. That the high seas are ,out of the jurisdiction of time common Law, does not appear a sufficient reason for not inflicting the usual ‘llyrieiol tlmie,dr datd;wig because lin the .same exception operates is ill au arm of the sea, and that arm within the body of any county. The better distinction appears, to be whether the water is salt or ,fresh ; In the last case, a Deodand is due, but not in the first. Because, as Sir E. Coati says, though the,arm of tile sea be withhir the body of the county, the ship or other vessel is subject to such dangers upon the raging waves in respect of wind and tempest; and he' adds, this Petition in Parliament desiring ." That if it happen anv man or boy to be drowned by a fall out of any ship, vessel, or boat, they shall be no deodands. Whereunto the King, up on grea t a dvice and conference with his beingnt de uponanswer, 1 e t s h 4 t , t a t Judges (I.salri n) antiorboat,the o e u sense oavessel}}learned, of is included) shall be adjudged no deodand, b u t b e ing upon' a fresh water r i ver , i t is a deod an d, but the King- will skew favour. This is,the state of the law on the isubject of deodands, but which h as now e ntirely lost it itsm setting; importance. Juries have assum ed to themselves a disp ens i ng power, " ha r dly wa rrantable.by law," i a value on the deodand purelyt e so l m aim in i a n l g , 1 1:u e t ( t o i r te .

George Monk keeps a liceueed house -for slaughtering horse* in Buck'a.row, Whitechapel ; .ort the littb. Mardi the prisoner came to his premises between five and six- ri site inorning, aud brought a horse with him ; he asked 'witness it he Would pur chase; witness inquired the price, and the prisoner replied 21,.; witness examined the boric, and put several questions to him ; he said it was his own property, and that he had Wrought 'it from . Brentfortl that morning; witness said it was a long dist tance to come so early; Witness knew the horse must have been Very warm to have come that distance, hut it was quite cool ; witness said, as it did not appear to ail any thing, 11,.: should wish to know why - he Wished to part with it; he give ecitii vocal answers which induced witness to dinain him ; he then advertised the hors and afterwards dri)ve him to Szithfield and had him labelled, so that the owner might obtain pages sion of him..

(Before Mr. Justice PARK and Mr. Baron °ARROW.) fiIIELP STEALING. Thomas Shale, a young man of very revectahle appearance, was indicted for stealing 33 live sheep, value 831. , the property of John Wells. Mr. Aso hzws stated the case for the prosecution.--Th e prosecutor is a farmer living in Hertfordshire, and in February last he lost upwards of 59 bheep, in co:►sequence of which he gave information at Lambeth-street Office, and, on search, 35 live sheep and parts of others, making 44, were discovered Ina stable, which was occupied by the prisoner. Mr. John Wells lives at Therleybury park in Ilertfordsliire, abourls miles from London. The sheep were in a pastor:: near his house on the 18th of February. • Thomas Bennett, shepherd to last witness.—On the Thurs• day before the sheep were missing, he counted the flock, and there were 151; when he 'next counted them there were only 105 ; 40 were gone on the Saturday ; the witness after wards saw 33 alive in London, which bore his master's mark. E. Dalton, an officer of Lambeth -street, went on the 18th to a stable, No. 5, 'Warren-mews, Fitzroy-square, and broke open the door; found 33 sheep alive and 11 plucks, and a quantny of skins tied up m a hag. By Mr. linonntor—Mr. Wells and the shepherd saw and identified the sheep within two or three days after he found them in the stable. Richard Gardner accompanied the last witness to a public. house in Warren -street, Fitzroy-square, where they found the prisoner and his brother ; witness said to him, Is that your brother with you ? lie said, yes. Witness said " Will you go to your stable, and your brother had better come with you." They wished to know what for. Witness replied, "about the horse." They then went to the stable occupied by prisoner itt Osnaburgh-street, and witness said to them, "you Must con. sider yourselves in custody, respecting sonic sheep in Warren's Mews." They said they know nothing about it. The prisoner said he had let the stable to a man named Vincent two months before, at His. a-week. By Mr. Justice PARK—Never asked him, or heard it asked of the prisoner, who Vincent was, or where he lived. AVM.
